Chapter 1011: Atypical Mother and Son
In the words of the barrage, Egwen was a woman who went her own way, always only cared about her own thoughts, and didn't care how much her words and deeds would affect the people and things around her.
Suspecting that the ideas of the top of the Council of Tirisfa had deteriorated, the hot-tempered Egwene fell out with the Council that had cultivated her with all her might, and fled with the power of the Guardian of the Council of Tirisfa, which had been passed down for countless generations.
In order to hunt down Egwene and let her resume the responsibility of protecting Azeroth, the Council of Tirisfa set up a special organization called the Tyrisph Secret Method, and followed Egwene for a long time.
Annoyed, Egwene thought of a solution, and no longer trusting the council, she decided to continue the power of the guardian in her own way, and use herself as bait to divert the attention of the secret puja, so that the inheritor could grow up in a relatively stable environment.
This inheritor is Medivan, the son of Egwene and Nyalas Elam, the court mage of the Stormwind Kingdom.
At that time, Neras Elan took over the task of hunting down Egwene by the Council of Tirisfa, and temporarily became a member of the Secret Order of Tiris.
But in the years-long battle of wits and courage with Egwen, the two sides gradually saw each other's true thoughts through countless verbal and magical encounters.
Elan discovers that Egwene is not a shameful defector as the top brass of the Tyrisfa Council says, and that she has her own set of ideas.
Egwene also discovered that Elan, as the archmage of the Stormwind Kingdom, also hated the excessive interference of the top leaders of the Tyrisfa Council in the internal affairs of various countries.
After gradually understanding each other's ideas, the two who were originally hostile to each other naturally turned enemies into friends.
Elan agrees with Egwen's plan to get rid of the council's manipulation of the Legacy Guardians, which is how Medivan was born.
After giving birth to Medivan, Egwen poured most of the power of the Guardian into the body of his young son, and entrusted Elan to take care of him as he grew up, and he only retained a small amount of the power of the Guardian to maintain his youth.
What neither Egwene nor Elan expected was that the Sargeras Split Soul, which had been attached to Egwen's soul before, also took the opportunity to enter Medivan's body, which led to a series of subsequent tragedies.
When Medivan came of age, his father Elan was unfortunately affected and died in order to stabilize his uncontrollable outburst of guardian power, but the soul of the old mage who loved his son still lingered in the tower of Karazhan, guarding Medivan as always.
Upon learning that Medivan's will had been influenced by Sargeras, Egwen, who was unable to make amends, was determined to make amends for the stupid mistakes he had made.
But at that time, she had lost most of her guardian powers, and her strength was not as good as before, and she was not at all the opponent of Medivan, who was manipulated by Sargeras.
If it weren't for Medivan's instinctive resistance, Egwene would have died at the hands of Medivan during this mother-son battle many years ago.
Acanagoth, a friend of the Blue Dragons who was invited by Egwene to help, was killed by Mediven, who then twisted his form and transformed Acanagoth into the Night Demon of the Bone Dragon, and Egwen himself was banished to the corners of the world.
Completely disheartened by this stop, Egwene hides in Kalimdor to recover from her injuries in Kalimdor with a strong sense of frustration and guilt, and begins to reflect on the many consequences of her reckless actions.
When Egwene heard about Medivan again, he was greeted with bad news.
Medivan was slain by Anduin Lothar, Khadgar, and the orc thief Garona within his mage Takarazane, and the aftermath of his death destroyed the entire Upwind Trail, even affecting the Twilight Forest next door.
Since then, Egwen, who feels guilty about Medivan and feels guilty about his mother, has been preparing for the resurrection of Medivan.
A few years ago, Egwene enlisted the help of Sarren to bring Medivan's wandering soul back to Azeroth.
However, the problems between the mother and son really began to emerge from this point in time.
Due to the long period of evading the pursuit of the Tyrius Secret Order, Egwene rarely had the opportunity to meet Medivan after he was born, and the occasional meeting was also a formal way to teach him how to awaken and use the power of the sleeping Guardian in his body with ease.
Rather than mother and son, the two used to get along more like strict mentors and gifted apprentices, with little to no family affection.
This continued until Medivan's resurrection.
Although he is grateful to his mother for waking him up from the cold death, the guilt-ridden Medivan has always planned to leave the seclusion and return to the mundane world, trying to make up for the mistakes he made when he was under the influence of the Demon King.
However, at that time, Medivin had just been resurrected, his body was weak, and he had lost the power of a guardian, and his strength was only one-twelfth of his peak.
Under Egwen's painstaking persuasion, Medivan calmed down and agreed to his mother's offer to stay and recuperate for the time being.
Since then, Medivan has been on the edge of his seat due to pervasive guilt, and the head of the department can't help but want to leave the Dust Swamp to do his part for Azeroth.
After experiencing the emotional rollercoaster of Medivan from life to death and back from the dead, it was only then that Egwen, who was young and went his own way, truly understood the importance of family.
She didn't want to watch Medivan, who had been resurrected so hard, embark on a dangerous path again, but at the same time, the sense of responsibility in her heart told Egwen that Medivan really needed to atone for his sins and for their family.
After years of back-and-forth with various excuses, Medivan finally made up his mind to leave the seclusion and re-enter the world, this time he did not intend to listen to his mother's reasons for delay.
While Medivan and Egwen were arguing with each other, Salajan's party came to the door at this time.
Egwen tries to get Sarjan and the others to join Medivan's persuasion, but Sarjan's idea is closer to Medivan's.
Not even Madison, he doesn't intend to let go of his former Guardian, Egwen, who is gradually losing his heart after going through too much.
Even without the blessing of the power of the Guardians, Egwene and Medivan still stand at the top of the many mortal mages in Azeroth, and only Queen Azhara can hold them back.
If you don't use such a powerful help, it will inevitably be a bit tyrannical.
Instead of helping to persuade Medivan to dispel the idea of going out, Salaam sided with Medivan to persuade her to return to the mainstream civilization and continue to use her spare heat to protect Azeroth.
"You...... That's how you helped me?! ”
Egwene smiled angrily, that is, Egwen, who was now in a peaceful state of mind, if she had a violent temper when she was young, I am afraid that she would have already exploded in the face of Sarren.
Saljan could understand Egwen's thoughts.
In his early years, Egwen was not afraid of heaven and earth, so he caused a lot of trouble, angering countless people.
But she didn't care about it, she firmly believed that she had the strength to settle all the troubles and troubles that came to her door.
With the growth of age and experience, no matter how unruly and rebellious people are, they will converge their edges under the washing of time.
The current Egwene cares more about the safety of his only relative than protecting Azeroth.
Sarjan didn't care about Egwene's anger, and smiled at her and asked her rhetorically, "Lady Egwene, I'll just ask you one question. ”
"Are you sure you can control Medivan's thoughts, and can stop him from staying?"
"This ......"
Egwene looked at Medivan, whose expression was still calm, and was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile.
"No, this kid is just like me and has a stubborn temper that doesn't go backwards, and once he decides on something, he won't look back."
"And ......"
Egwen sighed softly, looking helplessly at his hands that seemed to be as clean as before.
"Although I don't want to admit it, the years are really unforgiving, and now I don't have the strength I had when I was young."
"If Medivan is bent on leaving, I really can't stop him."
In order to awaken Medivan from death, Egwen resolutely sacrificed the last bit of guardian power to keep him young.
Although she still looks very young now, everyone present knows that this is nothing more than a magic trick of the mage.
Under the illusion, Egwen's hair was already full of silver threads, and her face was also full of wrinkles, but she was so strong that she didn't want people to see her old appearance.
Of course, Sarren and the others will not be uninteresting to debunk her, and Egwen's physical condition may be hidden from outsiders, but only she can't hide it.
Although the experience accumulated over hundreds of years is still there, if he really fights Medivan, who is in the prime of life and has recovered well, the probability of Egwen's loss is more than 9 percent.
Salian spread his hands and said, "That's it, the reason why Medivan hasn't forcibly rushed out of the house until now is just to take care of your face as a mother, are you sure you want to force him to give up this last bit of warmth?" ”
Medivan and Egwene get along in a strange way, and when they discuss issues, they are more like friends with different ideas, rather than mother and son whose blood is thicker than water.
But the connection between the bloodlines is not so easy to sever, and even if Medivan and Egwene don't show it clearly on the surface, they actually care about their only remaining relatives in their hearts.
It is precisely because of this bond of family affection that Medivan can endure the torture of guilt and stay in the dust swamp for several years.
But no matter how strong the family bondage is, there is a limit, Medivan is an independent individual, he has his own set of ideas, and he is confident that he has the ability to practice his ideas.
Egwene, who is obsessed with the authorities, does not realize that if she continues to be stubborn, she is likely to break out into a hard conflict with the equally stubborn Medivan that neither of them wants to see.
All Saljan needs to do is wake up Egwen, who is not stupid in the first place, and make her realize the truth beyond her eyes.
Sure enough, Egwene stood in place and was silent for a long time, and finally sighed with a wry smile.
"Well, I agree that Medivan can go out and about."
Hearing that his mother finally relented, Medivan, who was very calm on the surface, also breathed a sigh of relief.
"But!"
Before Egwen's words were finished, she solemnly looked at Medivan and said, "Promise me, don't let guilt overwhelm your reason, control your visible self-destructive tendencies, I hope to see the day you return safely." ”
